As you can see from the above image, I’ll be co-hosting a short webinar for Seidlitz Education about different strategies content teachers can use to not only make their lessons more accessible to English Language Learners, but to their English-proficient students, too!

With the decreasing numbers of ELL Newcomer students due to xenophobic Trump administration policies, more and more content teachers will be having ELLs placed in their classes since there won’t be the numbers needed for separate ones (see What Should Schools Do As The Numbers Of ELL Newcomers Decrease?).

Personally, my three favorite strategies for content teachers to use are:

Peer tutors (see THE BEST RESOURCES ON PEER TUTORS)

Jigsaw (THE BEST RESOURCES FOR LEARNING ABOUT THE JIGSAW INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY)

Writing Frames and Writing Structures (The Best Scaffolded Writing Frames For Students)

I’ll be talking more about them, and Carol Salva will share her favorite ones, in the second half-hour of the webinar (which I don’t think will be recorded) after our initial conversation with Merica Clinkenbeard.  She’ll be talking about her choices in the first part.

In addition, here are additional resources on the topic:
